The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Alize – this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There’s not a single day where the wind and swell come together to give us anything clean or rideable. The setup is a beach and reef, exposed to the swell, but the wind is a killer.
The pattern is the same from start to finish: a persistent easterly breeze blowing across or onshore, putting a chop on everything. The swell direction is mostly from the east or northeast, which is the opposite of the optimum swell direction from the northeast. What that means is the swell is coming straight out of the wind zone, and it’s basically the same as the wind chop – short period, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, jumbled, and has no power.
The first week, from Wednesday the 5th of August through to the 12th, is a total bust. Swell heights are tiny, from 2 ft to 5 ft, but the energy is weak to moderate (81 to 217). The wind is a cross or cross-on shore at 12 to 19 mph, making it choppy and messy. The water temperature is 82.9°F with a 0.0°F anomaly, so it’s about average for the time of year, but you won’t be in the water long enough to enjoy it.
The second week gets a bit more size, but it actually gets worse for surfing. From Thursday the 13th of August onward, the swell bumps up to 6.5 ft to 8 ft, and the wave energy jumps into the strong to very strong range (482 to 978). That sounds promising, but it’s all east wind swell with a short period (8-9 seconds), and the wind stays strong (15 to 25 mph) and cross or cross-on. The wave comment keeps saying “poor surf conditions” the whole way, and the scores are zeros. The only exception is a single “marginal” rating on Monday the 17th of August, but that’s still a 1 out of 10 with a cross-shore wind and lumpy chop.
Look, when the swell gets over 5 ft with this much wind and short period, it’s not a wave you want to paddle into. It’s a washing machine. The setup is a beach and reef, and with significant swell and strong onshore winds, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The consistency is good, but the quality is terrible. For an area that usually has some consistent surf, this blank run is a bit of a surprise, but it happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. Sorry, mates.

Information about the Alize Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alize provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alize can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alize surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alize) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Alize may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Alize is 7 km (4 miles) from Le Moule. If you plan a holiday in Guadeloupe - Grande Terre, look for hotels and other accommodation in Le Moule. Le Moule has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
